Looked all around Arizona for the RV Trailer that I was trying to buy. Every other dealer, whether online or in person, tried to pressure me into buying something I did not want. I found what I wanted at Nelson RV and was able to check out the unit right there on the lot to make sure it was working. The price was excellent and the unit was in great shape. Bought it in December to pick up in January. All the paperwork was completed, registered and licensed upon pick up. I overlooked that the system was winterized so when I went to turn on the on-demand hot water heater, 3 months later, it wouldn't work because there was no water in the system as it had been emptied. One call for information to Nelson RV and they said bring it by and we will check the system. Wayne, the service manager, stopped what he was working on and fixed the situation by taking it out of the winterized mode, flushed and reset the system and made sure it was working normally. He also took the time to explain how to properly flush and restart the system. After all the time they spent helping me, they did not charge me for the service. I am confident that if I have questions or require maintenance in the future, Nelson RV will be there to help. I am very satisfied with my purchase and repair service ant Nelson RV. I will gladly recommend this family owned business and will look to them for any future RV upgrades. Thank you James, Dionne, Miguel and especially Wayne for all your assistance. read more

My partner and I just bought our second late model class C motorhome from Nelson RV in Tucson. Our first experience was great- and, as expected, our second experience was just as good. The motorhome was just as advertised, and Dionne had all the paperwork ready for us. Miguel efficiently handled the delivery, and everything went great. We later had a bit of mechanical issue due to a fuel issue and Dionne and Nelson RV immediately reimbursed us for the repair expense and included a generous amount in addition for our inconvenience. Communication was excellent. Nelson RV treated us great- I definitely recommend Nelson RV to any local or out of state buyer. Well done! Sutter and Weber, Palm Desert, CA read more

See all

Nelson RV services what they sell and they do it right! Prepping our 2017 Jayco RedHawk for a trip and discovered a water leak at the sink faucet. Called James and he said bring it down...same day...90 minutes later I'm driving the RV home. They also replaced the fuse for the toad's braking system. Extremely happy with their sales and service! read more

James, Lisa and Nick did a great job getting me into a nice, used RV. This is a family run business and the inventory might be smaller than some of the larger lots you see. The vehicles at Nelson will be serviced, checked out and ready to go. You won't find any high pressure sales techniques from James, just a real interest in making sure you get a RV that is right for you. If I ever grow out of my current RV, I am looking forward to talking to James again. read more

We paid $40,000 for our junk RV!!! Everytime we use it something major breaks on it. Also after owning it I had to redo all the poor workmanship and replace the shoddy materails the techs did to this junk pile. They responded to a review my wife left saying it was an as is sale. YEAH, WE KNOW THAT! Also, there is something known as buyer beware, and I say this is exactly what you need to do when buying from Nelson RV!!!!! There should be disclosure laws, so that someone buying such a large purchase knows exactly what was wrong with the thing! Because not everything was repaired and there are rottingg floors, slide motor not working, just runs but slide doesn't move, electric step not working, motor continues to run and won't stop, so I had to unplug it, I was driving 60 miles per hour on highway 61 when the motor turned off, thankfully I was right at a spot to be able to get off the road quickly, check engine light came on had to replace all the ignition coils and plugs on a unit that has just over 6,000 miles on it now, generator runs for about 5 seconds and quits, and I have only used it for about an hour and a half at most, we bought an external generator so we could be off grid and have power, steering wheeel shakes at 65 miles per hour and they were supposed to fix that issue right after we purchased this junk, front stablizer shock had to be replaced, shower is lose, and can't be screwed into wall because of all the rotted wood and trim boards are falling off the walls, drain pipes are leaking, screws for holding things are coming out, because they are completely rusted and the threads are nearly gone, bed under layment was a thin 1/8 inch wall panel, I had to replace it with plywood because it was bending when we got into the bed, the spare tire rack is completely rusted, so I can't mount the spare tire under it!!! The list just goes on and on! Beware before buying, and I recommend taking it to someone that knows RVs and have it checked out first. P.S. I had to replace the entry door handle because it broke, and I realized when starting to work on it,, the door frame was bent, because someone had to pry the door open at some time. There are more things that I have had to repair, but the list just keeps going and going...., I feel I have made my point, other than we still owe too much money for this piece of JUNK, and I can't sell it to even pay the thing off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't even enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Purchased a used 2015 Montana 5th wheel from Nelson RV and could not be more satisfied with James and the crew. Most reviews say this is a family run business and I can confirm that everyone at Nelson RV is top notch and works hard to uphold their reputation. Drove from Glendale to look at and purchase the unit. Absolutely no pressure at all. Identified a few items of concern and when I returned the next week to pick up the 5th wheel everything was addressed and even a few things that were missing from the original factory supplied items had been ordered and put in place. Took delivery and was concerned about the refrigerator not cooling properly. drove home to Glendale (it was 110 degrees) and the unit was at 60 degrees. Called James and he said bring it back and they would replace the cooling unit. Went back down the next weekend to have it replaced and found that Dometic had shipped the wrong unit and there was none available for weeks. We were leaving on a 3 week trip in 10 days and we needed the refrigerator to be working. James offered to replace the double door unit with a brand new Norcold. I was able to secure a used Dometic double door unit to replace the original and we made the swap that same day. Nick who is an unbelievable tech went over every part of the rig prior to delivery and spent a really late night getting the new/used refrigerator installed so I could head home on Saturday. For a dealer to offer to pay for a new $4500 refrigerator to fix an issue after the sale is a huge indicator as to how much they value their customers. Sorry this is so long but they took such good care of us they deserve the accolades. Thank you James, Lisa, Nick and the rest of the techs at Nelson RV! read more

Nelson RV - RV Dealers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

To start, we live in far northern Illinois, so we purchased this unit via internet and had a friend check out the unit prior to us purchasing. Nice 5th wheel, ok price. Had the 5th wheel delivered to an RV site prior to our arrival. That said, communication from Nelson RV was poor, calls that were never returned was the norm. The unit was nice, the only issue we had was the fridge does not work on propane as it should. I did not call the dealer once we arrived as we had limited time in Tucson and due to the lack of previous communication just didn't want to get frustrated. Now that I'm home will have a RV tech look at it and pay him. Happy traveling read more

We have bought two RVs from Nelson. We could not ask for a more friendly, competent staff at Nelson! James is as helpful as they come, and always accommodates us. They are the very first place we look when shopping to trade up or find an additional smaller unit. Thank you, James and family and staff! You have very loyal customers, and we are happy to be counted in that number! read more

Amazing service! The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had a problem with my 5th wheel hitch and received help as soon as I pulled in. The service was performed quickly and for a very reasonable price. We also got an RV from them about 8 months ago and have been very happy with it. This is a top notch business with a great staff! I highly recommend Nelson RV for anything RV. read more

We purchased our first travel trailer from them. The staff is knowledgeable and cordial. They provided a complete explanation on how all of the components worked. On day two of our first adventure, a terrible groaning noise was coming the area of the trailer hitch, sounding like the pain of the dead. A phone call to Nelson RV identified the problem and solution in a few minutes. We made an adjustment and off we went, silently. They are a well run, experienced business that have been a long standing Tucson dealer for 14 years. When we make our next trailer purchase, we'll call them. The owner and manger James, is a good man to do business with. read more

We cannot say enough about Nelson RV! The staff is fantastic. We bought our RV from them, and they went through everything, even adding on some features we wanted. Since purchasing, we had some repairs to make and they made them without any trouble at all. We highly recommend Nelson RV! Everyone there is so friendly, competent, and helpful! read more

We purchased a used older Damon Daybreak 2740 from Nelson RV. These guys were so pleasant to work with. I am glad we found them. The RV was in pretty darn good shape for its age and for a good price. Thanks to James, his wife, and his mother for making our experience so pleasant. Oh yes, I can't forget Dale. He was great at showing us the ropes on the walkthrough of the systems. read more

Fantastic experience purchasing a 5th wheel from Nelson! Not only a fair price, but both James & Nick, the service tech, went way beyond our expectations making sure everything was just right before we took delivery. Well worth the drive from Phoenix & an added plus is big savings on sales tax. Not a "fancy" place to shop, just good old fashioned customer service not found now days. Keep up the great work "Team Nelson"! read more

We just bought a 30 foot Dutchman travel trailer from Nelson RV. Not only did they sell it at fair price, but James took in my 18 foot Shadow Cruiser on trade. Nick the service Tech. explained how everything worked and replaced any parts necessary for safe operation. We would recommend Nelson RV to all our friends and family. It was wonderful buying from such honest people. Thank You. Bob and Doreen. read more

It's possibly true that used vehicle salesmen the world over are all alike, but I think I've found an exception. For nearly six months I shopped Tucson for a good, used 5th wheel travel trailer. I hit all the big dealerships down along I-10; hunted Craigslist; and kept an eye on the classified ads in the local fishwrapper. Especially among dealers, the salespeople seem almost all to have some type of scam that sounds good on the surface but works out to be slimy when you dissect it. I finally wound up buying a used rig at Nelson RV on north Flowing Wells Road, and I haven't been disappointed. One of the biggest selling points I found was the vehicle warranty. The big outfits usually offered me a 30-day fix-it assurance. Nelson gave me 90 days. On many 5th wheels I inspected, tread on the tires was well on the way to being shot. "Oh, we can take care of that for you," was the typical response from the big boys when I pointed out the deficiency. So, why didn't they "take care" of it before putting the thing up for sale? Nelson RVs that I looked at (and I looked at many) uniformly had excellent tread, and the dealership hands-down assured me that brakes, bearings, etc., were in top shape. We DID encounter a few glitches. Three months-plus after I had purchased the trailer, a holding tank seal began leaking (this vehicle is 11 years old). Nelson replaced not only the one bad seal, but all of them, voluntarily, without being asked, at no cost, and that task involves having to remove the under-flooring to get inside at the seals. This was well past their 90-day warranty. At one point I discovered a spot alongside one of the slide-outs where caulking seemed to be sparse. Nelson not only re-did that area of caulk, but also applied more in multiple spots along window seals, even though I'd not experienced any leakage. One upgrade for which I had opted on my own was an electronic door lock (I purchased it direct, and had Nelson install it.) On two occasions the lock failed to work, and I sent it back to the manufacturer (purchase price was $250-plus). Even though Nelson wasn't responsible for the failure, it had its techs remove and replace the lock at no charge to me, and that chore involved moving the strike plate and grinding it down in order to fit. This company is by no means large, but it's family-owned, and it honors both contract language and spirit. I give Nelson RV a solid thumbs-up. read more

Excellent Service; Excellent Products; Great Experience; Worth the Drive!!! My name is Gary Nelson and I am in no way related to anyone at Nelson RV. My family and I live in Temecula, California. Last summer we wanted to purchase an R.V. of some sort but did not know where to begin. We had never owned a trailer, 5th wheel, or motor home before. So we went to our local dealers, looked around, and finally decided on a front living room 5th wheel. But we did not know if the dealers asking price was fair. So we did a nation wide search for the same model 5th wheel (Montana FL3685) and found the same exact unit for substantially less money at Nelson RV. Not only was the asking price more than $5,000 less but Nelson RV's had much better features such as new appliances, new tires, and cleaner carpet. Upon purchasing the coach I discovered that these upgrades were done by Nelson RV (not the prior owner) before they even listed it for sale. And upon visiting the dealership I discovered that ALL of their coaches are meticulously clean, thoroughly inspected, and well maintained. It is also important to note that prior to purchasing the 5th wheel, we had never even owned a truck. When I advised owner James Nelson of the 5th wheel we were interested in, he spent an incredible amount of time helping us purchase a good quality truck that could not only handle the 5th wheel we wanted but one that had a good quality reputation as well. And although we purchased the truck in L.A., James Nelson helped me negotiate the deal. And he did this before we even visited his facility and certainly under no obligation to purchase a 5th wheel from him. My wife and I were happy to drive the 460 miles each way to Tuscon as we saved thousands of dollars by doing so. We have lived in our coach full time for one month now and everything is in excellent working order and without problems. I have had a few questions about the basics like emptying tanks and cleaning filters and Nelson RV has picked up the phone every time and helped me along the way. Nelson RV has excellent service before the sale, during the sale, and after the sale! And they'll even guide you through the truck buying process if needed too :) If you are willing to make the trip to Tuscon, I am certain you will have a good experience too and save a lot of money. James Nelson and family are excellent people! Feel free to call me anytime to discuss my experience further: (951) 294-1126. read more

We are snowbirds from Canada We were looking for a specific 5th wheel trailer, to purchase in the southern Arizona area to leave down in Why, AZ. full time We found the unit we were looking on line at Nelson RV. We liased by computer and by phone, and they were very friendly We visited their RV lot, where we looked at the unit we were interested in. it was very easy to come to a good deal with them. They delivered the unit in excellent condition, and even threw in lunch, and a couple of extra propane tanks. I would give them an A+, and would recommend anyone to give them a try. read more

We are full time RVers and just bought a 5th wheel from Nelson RV. Moved out of a 40 ft diesel pusher and are we ever happier in our 5th wheel! Salesman Robert was simply great and everyone there was helpful. Their biggest asset is honesty - and all the personal details help too. Just a great small-town feeling - no pressure that goes along with the large glitzy places. A pleasant experience and we recommend Nelson RV highly! read more

Purchased a Sundance 5th wheel in Spring of 2017, had a great experience. We didn't know anything about RVing, the staff was patient, friendly and very helpful....for example, yesterday, while parking the 5th wheel, the landing gear stopped working. Called Nelson for assistance, Devin drove out to help us identify the problem, all fixed on the spot. Great people, very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

My wife and I just retired and decided to try out RV'ing. As we shopped about the Tucson area, we quickly realized the large dealers did not have the customers' best interests at heart. That said, we stumbled across Nelson's R.V. and have been COMPLETELY satisfied with all aspects of the sale. We have had three trips in as many months and have had minor repair issues. They backed their product and made the warranty repairs as they said they would. Their prices are great, repair service is efficient and customer service and the way the respect their customers is over the top! If you're looking for a qualified Mom and Pop business that's truly honest, look no further!!! read more

I just purchased a 2011 Montana 5th wheel from Nelson RV.I purchased the coach sight unseen. James told me that it shows like new. I drove 500 miles to pick up the Montana. They waited on me until 8:00 PM.When I arrived they showed me into our beautiful coach. It was better than I could imagine.They had it all set up and dinner waiting for me. They showed me the basics and left me to get some rest. The next morning when I got up they had my new B&W Companion hitch installed in my truck.Dale,one of the Techs showed me all of the bells and whistles.They even had me breakfast.Thanks to James,Lisa,Dale and all the workers at Nelson RV. This was the easiest purchase that I have ever made. Honesty and the lowest price in the country has made Nelson RV the only dealer that I will recommend.Thanks for our new Montana. read more

Let me tell you about my experience. I was an out of state buyer & had found a used unit at NelsonRV. I had called & spoke with James. I was very apprehensive putting a down payment to hold a unit but James was very assuring & was more than happy to refund the deposit if I didn't like the unit once I came in state. He walked me through the ins & outs, making sure I was aware of local Independent RV inspectors, lenders, ect. James was extremely helpful & knowledgable. I placed a deposit & was expecting it to only be a week before I made it in town. Unfortunately it was almost 3! Meanwhile James is turning down buyers in hopes I was going to purchase. James stated he could have sold this unit 4 times as he was waiting for us to show up. James was a good sport & said he stood by his word. I finally made it to the dealership to find the RV was as described & had been outfitted with all the nessary equipment needed. All 4 propane tanks full, hoses, all electrical connections one would need...it was complete. The gentleman that did the walk thru with us was really nice & attentive. He took all the time I needed to answer any questions & demonstrate the features of this coach. There was even another gentleman that walked me thru hitching up, as this was a 5th wheel & give me driving pointers. James & his staff took good care of us! I would recommend NelsonRV to anyone looking to buy a camper. They really do a good job & there's no sales pressure. It was a seamless transaction & I'd do it again! read more

My wife and I had been looking for our first RV for quite some time. After looking for about three months at ten or so larger RV dealers in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas we came across Nelson RV in Tucson, AZ. We were told by the big dealers to avoid the smaller dealers as they could not possibly deliver the price and quality of service the bigger dealers could. Naturally, we were reluctant to look into a smaller dealer, but after several months of looking without success we explored Nelson RV's inventory on the internet. Much to our surprise we located the fifth wheel we were looking for. Robert, James and Lisa treated us wonderfully. They patiently showed us all the units in their inventory, answered all our questions (even the less intelligent ones from us newbies), and gave us some helpful ideas in dealing with the larger dealers. After visiting several more larger dealers, we settled on a fantastic deal on a 2006 NuWa HitchHiker II LS in near perfect condition from Nelson RV. As part of our dealings, we received a state-of-the-art PullRite Superglide hitch installed; trailer wiring; and new tires, , awning cover, battery and bedding without additional charge and without asking. They also supplied us with some wheel covers, leveling blocks and chocks. And, best of all we met some fantastic people who never applied any pressure and were genuinely concerned that we find the RV that met our needs. read more
